The content type is correctly set from the server, as I can see from
the firebug logs.
If I make the browser pointing to the correct address, the pdf open/
save dialog is showed and everything works fine.
But, if I make a request from within gwt, the callback mechanism seems
to override the normal behaviour of the browser.
Do you know if it is possible to make a standard HTTP request from gwt
without using callbacks?
